Your excursion to Cayo Arena offers a wonderful tour departing from Puerto Plata, in comfortable air-conditioned buses and experienced drivers, accompanied by professional guides. Head to the north of the Dominican Republic and get ready for a journey full of splendid landscapes and green mountains to Punta Rusia, a picturesque fishing village on the coast of Puerto Plata.

Once you reach Punta Rusia, in La Isabela Bay, you will board a boat that will take you to Cayo Arena. In our way we will appreciate the flora and fauna of the waterway and sail across a national park, navigating through the mangroves, with a variety of beautiful natural colors. If we are lucky, we will get to see an adorable mammal: the manatee, also known as a sea cow!

After 45-minutes enjoying this unforgettable ride we arrive at Cayo Arena, here we have free time to snorkel and observe many species of fish of all colors, take pictures, take a refreshing swim in crystal clear water, chat with fishermen who come to Island or relax in fine sand before a delicious lunch. Once you finish snorkeling the speed boat will take you around the mangrove trees and to the restaurant. The food at the restaurant is a typical Dominican buffet delicious and hot.
